US to give military support to Syrian rebels as ‘red line’ crossed [video included]

After concluding that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons against the country’s insurgency, thus crossing a ‘red line,’ the Obama administration has decided to start sending arms to anti-Assad rebels for the first time, officials say.
Editor’s note: be sure to check out our articles showing evidence of the U.S. aiding the arming of Syrian rebels and even sending arms to Syrian rebels as early as June last year
An internal memorandum circulating within the Obama administration has assessed that chemical weapons, most likely the nerve gas sarin, were used multiple times in battle against the Syrian rebels.
The “intelligence community assesses that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons on a small scale against the opposition multiple times in the last year,” according to that memo, as cited by The New York Times.
President Obama has authorized to release of at least some US arms for Syria’s rebels as part of new military and political aid measures, according to a source who spoke with Reuters.
White House officials speculated over evidence that nerve gas had been used as of April, but that evidence is now being called “definitive” – with Congressional sources describing the conclusion as crossing the “red line” for US military intervention or backing as previously defined by the president.
“The president has made a decision about providing more support to the opposition, that will involve providing direct support to the (Supreme Military Council), that includes military support,” Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes told reporters on a conference call on Thursday.
“This is going to be different in both scope and scale in terms of what we are providing to the SMC than what we have provided before,” he adds.
According to officials who spoke with the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, the US military is currently considering a proposal for arming factions of the Syrian insurgency – as well as establishing a limited no-fly zone over the country to be enforced from nearby Jordanian territory.
That no-fly zone could stretch for up to 25 miles into Syrian territory, and would be set up in a bid to train and equip rebel forces and protect refugees, officials said.

“Police had responded to calls for a man walking into traffic on the Lincoln Alexander Expressway near Upper Wentworth. He was ordered off the highway, complied and climbed up the embankment towards his townhouse.
The officers followed him behind a berm where, shortly thereafter, witnesses heard between three and eight rapid-fire gunshots.”

Just as promised in previous article I told you we’d keep you updated. The man who got shot on June 7th 2013 is known as Steve Mesic, who has a child on the way with his wife that he left behind. While Warren, Rob and I were doing street activism and raising awareness downtown Hamilton about these issues, we sychronisitically ran into one of Steve’s friends who described Steve as a non violent person who never got into trouble with police. At the exact same time another of one Steve friends driving in vehicle stopped and told us Steve was one of the best guys in the world. From the sounds of it Steve was a good guy and it comes as a shock to the people that know him, that police would perceive him as a threat.
On the day of the shooting Steve just checked himself out of the hospital after voluntarily admitting himself for a 72 hour assessment. No known details as to what his problem was or how he was feeling when he left. He was found walking home on the highway which is unusual. The police were called because of complaint of Steve walking on the highway and shortly after he was shot dead.
In all fairness, in my opinion Steve was temporarily mentally ill, speculating he had some type of depression which could’ve been the reason why he checked himself into the hospital. Now I could be wrong but all there is left is speculation because no one from the family will talk. I only found his name out accidentally by running into his friends on the street.
Chief of Hamilton Police, Glenn De Caire, at a community meeting, stated that when dealing with mentally ill people police are trained to defuse the situation and to get the person the help they need. He also stated the police are only allowed to use lethal force in accordance with the Use Of Force Model. It seems like these officers did not exercise and execute the training they were taught. When I called De Caire up to confront and tell him he should hold the officers accountable for their actions, his secretary informed me that he went on a couple week vacation. Did he go on vacation to avoid people that would like to talk to him about this matter? Or maybe he’s on vacation spending $44,410 in donations from Enbridge Pipelines Inc. They say it’s for equipment but you never know, wouldn’t be hard to pocket a few thousand.
The officers names have not been released by Hamilton Police or the SIU and will only be released if they are convicted of a crime. If they are not convicted we will be left in the dark until someone exposes it.
This has got to end. Not all police officers are corrupt, power hungry and have psychopathic tendencies. But you’d be a fool to believe that there is no such thing as corrupt, power hungry psychopathic cops. They exist and they should be tried for their crimes like the rest of us. Proper filtration systems need to be put into the hiring process to prevent psychopaths from being hired onto police services.

Iran condoles with German flood victims

Iran has offered its condolences to the German government and people over the recent flooding which resulted in a number of deaths and forced thousands from their homes.
In a telephone conversation with his German counterpart, Guido Westerwelle, on Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi conveyed his sympathies over the flooding incident.
Salehi also announced Iran’s readiness to send relief aid to flood-hit areas.
The Elbe, Danube and other rivers in Central Europe have inundated their banks due to heavy rain over the past few weeks, causing widespread damage in Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. At least 18 people have reportedly died in the floods across Central Europe.
On Sunday, some 23,000 people were evacuated from the eastern German city of Magdeburg after a dam burst on the Elbe. The water levels reportedly rose to a record 7.48 meters – about five meters above normal.
Nearly 70,000 firefighters and 11,000 soldiers have reportedly been deployed to help the flood-hit areas across the country.
Chancellor Angela Merkel is expected to meet the governors of the country’s 16 states on Thursday to talk about the aftermath of the floods.

IRS Orders Coffee Trays With Hidden Cameras
Political Outcast
June 11, 2013
The news is replete with headlines about our government snooping and spying on Americans. We’re all being watched in some way or another. It kind of reminds me of that Simon and Garfunkel song “America,” where he sings, “The man in the gabardine suit is a spy. I said, ‘Be careful; his bowtie is really a camera.’”
It’s not just NSA that’s keeping tabs on everybody. Apparently, James Bond-style coffee trays are in demand by the IRS. And they need them immediately.
What in the world would the IRS need coffee trays with hidden cameras for? They also ordered plants and clock radios with hidden cameras and remote surveillance systems to go along with their “covert” items. Here’s what their purchase order read, and I have no idea why they kept misspelling “equipment”:
